Thank you for this great project! I have noticed, that if you switch to integrated graphics and then uninstall envycontrol via pip uninstall, the udev rules at /lib/udev/rules.d/50-remove-nvidia.rules and the file that blacklists the nvidia driver at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf are not deleted. This results in the nvidia driver not working after the uninstall, until you manually delete these files.

Switching to hybrid mode first removes those files ;)
